The Office of the Moscow City Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation expelled the deputy of the Moscow City Duma Yevgeny Stupin from the party. About this politician informed in your telegram channel.
According to Stupin, the corresponding decision was taken due to the fact that on February 24, 2022, the day when Russia began the military operation in Ukraine, he signed the letter “Socialists and Communists against the war”, provided a positive reference to the condemnation for “false news” about the Russian army of the leader of the opposition and former deputy of the Krasnoselsky district of Moscow Ilya Yashin *, and also voted against the report of the mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin in the Duma of Moscow in 2022.
As noted by the deputy, Yuri Afonin, the first deputy party leader of Gennady Zyuganov, who “actively lobbied” for this initiative, came to the meeting to expel him from the Communist Party.
“Including (head of the Communist Party faction in the Moscow City Duma Nikolai) Zubrilin and (former State Duma deputy Valery) Rashkin voted for my exclusion. Against only Desyatova Tatyana Ivanovna. For this bold position, which is worth a lot today, I thank her separately, ”wrote Stupin.
The fact that he could be expelled from the Communist Party by the politician himself informed early December 2022. According to Stupin, for signing the anti-war letter and sending a positive reference to Yashin*, the Party Central Committee recommended that a “fundamental personnel decision” be taken against him.
However, the main Communist Party organization in the capital’s Nekrasovka district gave him a verbal warning. “In the current situation, I see this as unconditional support!” Stupin noted.
At the same time, he explained, the higher party bodies of the Stalingrad branch, the Moscow City Committee and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation can reverse the decision and expel him from the party. .
Evgeny Stupin often speaks out against the decisions of the Communist Party faction in the Moscow Duma and supports the projects, initiatives and actions of the non-systemic opposition.
During the work of the VII convocation of the Moscow State Duma, this is the third case of the expulsion of a deputy from the ranks of the Communist Party. In 2021, a similar decision was accepted in connection with Elena Shuvalova and Dmitry Loktev. They were accused of “systematic actions which discredit the Duma faction of communists in the eyes of a wide range of voters”.
The faction said the two parliamentarians “repeatedly allowed themselves negative public statements both about the leadership of the faction and about individual comrades of the faction and the Communist Party of the Russian Federation as a whole.”
